Type 517 Radar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Type 517 is believed to be a A-band/VHF air search radar widely deployed on PLA-N surface vessels with 4 antennas in two crossed-brace supported pairs, one above the other, each pair mounted on each side of a single tublar support carried on the turning gear.

As it is similar to the Russian P-8 'Dolphin'/KNIFE REST radar which PRC manufactures and deploys for the HQ-2 surface to air system complex, it is believed that the Type 517 have similar capabilities and specifications.

The system appears to be manufactured by the Beijing Leiyin Electronic Technology Development company.
